Library Of Cowards

Every day at roll call, there would be a few more names that
went unanswered, a few more wizards having fallen in the night. I would have
been on clean up duty, but after seeing a female wizard’s head split open due
to spending too long channelling power into an army thousands of miles away…
Couldn’t do it.

So I stayed in the library, ‘researching’ for a spell that
would win the war. Anything to avoid having to work or worse, fight in the war.
